Ryan calls Eagles’ McCoy ‘best back in football’

The Eagles are averaging a putrid 16.6 points per game, but Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan isn’t about to enter Lincoln Financial Field feeling overconfident Sunday.

That’s because he remembers all too well how all-purpose running back LeSean McCoy carried the Eagles to a 34-7 shredding of the Cowobys on Oct. 30 in Philly last season. The Pittsburgh alum ran for a franchise-record 185 yards and two touchdowns on 30 carries.

“To me that’s the best back in football,” Ryan told reporters Friday in Irving, per ESPNDallas.com. “I really believe that. “I think he’s tremendous. He’s so talented. He’s got vision everywhere. He’s so quick. And I think (offensive coordinator Marty Morninwheg) is the only guy probably that can stop him because that guy is phenomenal. So if they don’t give it to him, that’s a good thing. But he’s super talented.”

Ryan stressed that he wasn’t taking a shot at Morningwheg, but it sure sounded like that. McCoy ranks 10th in the league in rushing with 623 yards, but he’s scored only two touchdowns on the ground.
